please help

how do i get a fresh copy of windows on a hard drive that is fucked up does not boot into the windows that is on it and when i push f8 and tell it to boot from my disk drive to run to windows disk that i have it doesnt work it just says "insert boot media and reboot" or somthing like that

i wanted to add that the windows disk that i have is windows xp pro with sp2 integrated and i downloaded it from isohunt using utorrent then upacked it "or whatever you call it" with 7zip and extracted it to a folder i made on my hard drive and then copy-pasted the files to the disk drive and hit "write these files to disk"

the disk did run in the comp im using now and worked although it does not pass genuine test

so if any of that was the wrong method then maybe thats why it wont load the disk i have, if any one has info or tips on downloading software that would be great

just for your info this all happend because i downloaded "protools" and didn't make a disk i tried to install directly from the folder i extracted it to from 7zip and it gave me an error message wich i ignored "becuase im a damn moron" and ever since i rebooted "like a moron" it gets to the black windows logo screen with the progress bar, quickly flashes the checkdisk screen and reboots

does this site not alow talk about that kind of stuff, as in should i go somewhere else for help

Yes look else where .its against the law to use the copy of windows you downloaded , therefor we cant help with it here,sorry.
as for learning how to download and burn programs to disk do a google.com search on How to do what ever it it you want to learn ,and read how to do it, before guessing how and getting into the trouble you go into .
google, like this "How to burn a bootable cd "
good luck
